Going to a museum was always something that I had wanted to do, but not knowing much about art made me hesitant. The museum that I chose to attend for this project was the Tampa Museum of Art. As my first museum experience, I decided to choose the Tampa Museum of Art because of the different array of work that it offered. The Tampa Museum was divided into three main sections called The Classical World, Echoes of Antiquity, and a section for the landscape artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude. The Classical

While volunteering at Westminster Archives I was involved with a project conserving and cataloguing a collection of lantern slides. I joined the project midway through, and my first task was to check the lantern slides against the image library card catalogue to see if any were duplicates of images already held in the collection. This was an early lesson in the realities of archive acquisition! My next task was to catalogue the lantern slides onto CALM. As I was working with images, which had varying

Taxpayers do not want to fund art they consider offensive, obscene, or sub-standard. However, is what museums display really the decision of the taxpayers? It is not.

Martin Puryear’s Ladder for Booker T. Washington (1996) is an iconic work of art. The sculpture, made of ash and maple wood, resembles a near-endless, sinuous ladder due to the artistic deployment of forced perspective. The distance between the rungs begin at an 11 and 3/4th inches wide at the bottom, and slowly diminishes as you near the top, their span being a miniscule 1 and 1/4th inches apart at its peak.
